  • Obey the rules of the road and carry your driver’s licence with you.Happy holidays! Enter 2020 safe and secure!

Tanya Britz is relentlessly escalating the sports ladder. Tanya is part of the National Senior Hockey Team, SA U/21 women’s team and also vice-captain of the Free State U/21 team that won the inter provincial league.

Tanya made it into the Senior National Hockey Team after what she called a “miracle” day on the astro fields. During this day, she was nominated as:
• best player of the tournament,
• top goal scorer, and
• best goal of the tournament.
The team made it to the finals of the provincial league.

“Kovsies is family to me. It has been a great journey with the Kovsie Sport family, and I should say that being a Kovsie is a great feeling,” Tanya says.

“To my fellow Kovsies – never cease to dream, until your dreams become a reality.”
